Haaahaaa, "chocolate" does that to me too!! I have chocolate cake in a cup almost everyday to get my chocolate fix in a low carb treat. About 10 carbs more or less..

All you have to do for a chance to win the eye-candy variety is enter the broody picture contest, when I have it.

My banty was psycho broody last night - prepping for your contest. She's trying to get me to hand over the pekin eggs I have stored. She loved hatching ducklings last year.

Would this be broody and babies or broody on nest?

I have bantam Cochin that is meaning business.

Hmmmm, do you mean like loving momma, vs psycho stink eye. Good question. Let me talk to Renee, maybe we can have both.

I will be picking up 6 turkey eggs for $25.00 later this week to set on Sunday!!!!

I set mine today I have staggered hatches so they had to go in now I can't set again for awhile due to me going on a Back Country Horseman camp out my husband isn't very good about checking the humidity and stuff. I'll have 2 small hatches though before so I'll try to get some pictures to share

I would love to join in if I can find some turkey eggs around here. We have one girl but no tom for her. Poor girl has to live with the Orpingtons and that roo just doesn't do it for her.

The camp sounds like a good reason to set early

I've never done an overnighter but we are just getting ready to kick of our spring trail-riding season and I'm so looking forward to it! We do all-day trail rides and by the end I am wiped and ready to come home to a nice, comfy bed

Actually, that's kind of exciting that you are setting yours early. They will be hatching just a few days before ours, so when we reach that point we can't touch ours and it seems like its taking forever for them to hatch, we can live vicariously through the pics of your new poults.

I set 6 scovy eggs Sunday.

They look like they had a rough trip (shipped) so I'm not too hopeful, but maybe I'll get 1-2. Saving goose eggs too, should have hopefully 3 or so to set, I think on Friday? If I get any duck eggs I'll be setting those for the hatch too. They A) aren't laying well (calls), and B) what eggs I am finding are being smashed by someone. Probably the geese.

I've started locking them up until noon in their own pen, so hopefully I'll get a few though.

And I'll be setting serama and d'uccles later. So everything but turkeys, pretty much.
